More IS More at Morton’s

Last night, I had the immense pleasure of “working” at Morton’s Steakhouse for a Cuisine & Wine Asia photoshoot and interview.  Now, there are all kinds of steaks out there.  But if you really are in the mood for the best steak in town, then you know you won’t go wrong at Morton’s. The restaurant is located at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Singapore and has been around for about a decade.  Morton’s has upheld its reputation for serving the highest quality USDA beef you can find anywhere.  Anyone who’s ever been to a Morton’s knows exactly what I’m talking about.  In fact, when the General Manager/Maitre’D Zyron asked if I might be interested in being featured at Morton’s, my mouth literally started watering.  Also along for the tasty culinary experience were Li Lin, Amy Cheng, and Adele Wong…

This evening, we all partook in the $95 SGD steak and seafood special, which starts with a healthy American-sized portion of salad.  I picked the Caesar salad…

Okay, after I took this picture of my salad, I soon realized that my talents do not lie in photographing food so hence I opted for more “dynamic” shots like the first picture at the beginning of this blog.  Once we finished our salads and some of the monstrous freshly baked onion bread, it was time to work on a steak and seafood of our choice which included scallops, shrimp, or crab cakes.  Quite frankly, I was gonna give another “go” at shooting some of this perfectly-prepared main course, but I found the expressions from my partners-in-crime for the night more telling…

Please don’t be misled to think that these are the faces of guests who have not been sufficiently satisfied–these are the faces of overly-satisfied customers who are bummed they can’t stuff any more of the meal into their tummies.  Fortunately for me, I was able to polish everything off.  Of course, I was hurtin for certain afterwards too…but it sure was worth it!

Thanks again to Zyron and his world-class staff for yet another amazing culinary experience at Morton’s and for “steak-ing” its claim as THE Standard for all Steaks!
